Frequently Asked Questions

Monthly rents for bar spaces in Ruaka range from Ksh 50,000 for smaller units in shopping centers to Ksh 200,000 for larger standalone properties. The exact price depends on size (typically Ksh 60-80 per sq ft), location visibility, and existing fittings.

Most commercial landlords in Ruaka offer initial lease terms of 2-3 years for bars and pubs, with options to renew. Shorter terms may be negotiable but typically at higher monthly rates. All leases include standard clauses regarding permitted use and operating hours.

While there are no universal restrictions beyond national licensing requirements (typically allowing operation until midnight or later), some shopping center leases may specify quiet hours. Standalone bars generally have more flexibility but must comply with noise regulations.

Most landlords permit reasonable modifications like bar counter installations, lighting systems, and decor changes after approval. Structural changes require written consent. Tenants typically restore the space to its original condition upon lease termination unless otherwise agreed.

Subletting is generally prohibited without the landlord's written consent under standard lease agreements. Some landlords may allow partial subletting (e.g., daytime cafe operations) if the primary tenant maintains responsibility for the premises.
